11.1.4 Activating Data Acceptance
You can set whether or not SunnyPortal should accept and display data of the devices integrated in the system.

for monitoring, forecast and control.
The device must not be the SunnyHomeManager.
Requirement:
☐ You must have the user role Installer or PV System Administrator (see Section16.1, page114).
You must Activate data collection:
• for Inverters:
if you want to monitor the power of an inverter (and thus the system) or compare yields of different inverters to
each other
• for radio-controlled sockets/relays and for Smart appliances:
if you would like to control loads indirectly or directly via the interface included in the device
• for other connected devices:
if they are to be displayed in the portal.
In the following cases, you must deactivate the data collection of a device in SunnyPortal:
• You no longer wish to display the device in SunnyPortal
or
• You have removed the device from your PV system
or
• You would like to replace the device in SunnyPortal by another device.
The data of the deactivated device is retained in SunnyPortal and remains visible on the menu page Evaluation.
Procedure:
1. Call up the device properties of the required device in the menu Device overview.
2. Select [Edit].
3. Place a checkmark in the field Active under Data collection to activate data collection.
